In just seven months, why have the 2017 treble winners slipped from the top of the heap to the bottom of the barrel? What specific event transpired to place Toronto FC in this calamitous situation?
It would be nice if we could point to one single event. That way, the line of “cause and effect” would be linear and we could easily diagnose the problem and start upon an immediate remedy. But this situation is far more complex (understatement supreme). Many factors have combined, in just the right proportions, at just the right (wrong) time, to brew this indigestible swill.
